i want all the blogs.

It was November of 2016 and the election was upon us. Donald Trump had not yet been elected. CAN’T WE GO BACK TO THEN?Anyway, at that time, I’d say I was laser-focused on the presidential election. Local? Not nearly as engaged as I should have been. Deciding on how to vote for props was like shooting fish in a barrel — just seeing which ones the bullets hit in terms of whether I went yay or nay. And school board candidate elections? I had no clue. I was uninformed, or — at the very least — not engaged. And that was a problem.Months prior to the election, someone had reached out to me and asked me to research and post about the school board candidates. At that time I was traveling for work and figured… yeah, I’d get around to it.

Oh, excuse me. I’ve been rude. I should mention, I run a blog by the name of Anonymous Mommy. We’ll get to that.

Thank you to everyone who participated in — and read along — CVUSD candidate Mary Anne's online Q&A session this morning! For those of you who don't have access to Facebook or were unavailable, I'm compiled the complete* list of questions and answers here, after the jump!

You might want to familiarize yourself with Mary Anne's candidate blog (which featured her answers to a pre-selected set up questions before her session), before you dive in!

Did you appreciate Mary Anne's time today in making herself available to answer your questions... and all the time she spent on her pre-selected Q&A questions? Here's how you can help her campaign:

DONATE. Donate because stamps aren't free. Donate because signs aren't free. Donate because all exposure isn't free. Donate because attending networking events isn't free. Donate because Mary Anne has stepped up to make a difference on our school board.

The average cost of a school board campaign this year will cost $30,000. Will you help Mary Anne?

Bill is running for one of the three available seats on the Conejo Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) board. The elections take place on Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2018.

Bill has agreed to participate in my online CVUSD Candidate Q&A forum and below you will find his completed candidate questionnaire that all candidates were required to fill out. I encourage you to read about his views for the CVUSD prior to his online Q&A, in which he'll be available to answer any questions you may have for him.

Each candidate put a tremendous amount of time into their answers and if you feel inclined, please support them by donating to their campaigns. It's been estimated that school board candidates will need to raise nearly $30,000 in order to run a successful campaign this year. They need your financial support if you want to have their presence on the board.
